Jin Ge never dreamed that there were coal mines under the West Mountain.

Open-pit coal mining is relatively easy.

As long as there are enough people, it is not a problem to supply as much as you want every day.

Jin Ge thought about it carefully, and first recruited a hundred people to try to dig to see how the daily output was.

If possible, increase the number of people to mine.

Jin Ge had dinner with everyone and happily returned to the Hundred Households.

Today's 100 households, there are many more merchants who come to pay taxes and silver than yesterday.

According to Jin Ge's arrangement, Meng Xiang left fifty captains every day without drilling.

Thirty of them patrolled the streets, and the remaining twenty collected taxes.

I saw that the school captain had a good attitude towards the merchants who came to pay the tax and silver.

Jin Ge was very satisfied, and called Yang Tao to patrol the streets.

Walking down the street, Jingo looked at the somewhat dirty street.

Suddenly turned his head to Yang Tao and said, "Do you remember where was the restaurant where Hu Wei and others were blackmailed last time?" ”

Yang Tao thought for a while and said, "Remember." ”

"Is that restaurant under our jurisdiction?"

Yang Tao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Let's go, let's see!"

Yang Tao took Jin Ge to a small two-story building and stopped.

Jin Ge looked puzzled.

Yang Tao was also a little blindsided.

At this moment, a pedestrian walked past the two of them.

Yang Tao stepped forward to stop the man, pointed to the two-story building with "Lingyun Pavilion" written on it, and asked.

"I'm tired of asking, isn't this a restaurant? When did you change the signboard? ”

The pedestrian was suddenly stopped by Yang Tao, and he was a little unhappy at first.

When he saw Yang Tao and Jin Ge's outfits clearly, he immediately changed his face and said very enthusiastically.

"This was indeed a restaurant, but it was not after the signboard was changed seven days ago."

The pedestrian looked left and right and whispered.

This Lingyun Pavilion is incredible! Other places are engaged in the leather and meat business, but here in Lingyun Pavilion is only selling art.

Their girls are all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are even more handy in poetry and songs.

In addition, they are as beautiful as flowers and tender as water.

If you want to win their favor, in addition to having silver, you have to be able to see them.

It is said that the day before yesterday, there was a wealthy businessman's son-in-law who smashed a thousand taels of silver, but he was stunned and did not get the favor of the girl of Lingyun Pavilion.

On the contrary, a scholar named Wei Zheng only wrote one poem, and was invited upstairs to have a long talk all night......

Because of this, those sons and wealthy businessmen were attracted by Lingyun Pavilion and wanted to try their luck.

In order to win the favor of the girls, they spent the money......

The pedestrian shook his head with a sigh and continued, "Tsk! Tut! ...... like flowing water"

Yang Tao thanked the pedestrians.

Jin Ge opened his mouth and said: "Tell Uncle Xiang tomorrow to suspend the practice for one day, and let the school captain go and inform the merchants about the collection of taxes and silver." ”

"Three days later, if there is still unpaid tax silver, don't blame us for being polite."

Jin Ge thought for a while and said, "Send someone to find out who the owner of Lingyun Pavilion is?" ”

"Yes!"

Yang Tao arched his hand.

Jin Ge and the others patrolled the street for a while.

After Yang Tao escorted Jin Ge back to the Protectorate Mansion, he hurriedly returned to the Baihu Office and told Meng Xiang what Jin Ge meant......

Jin Ge found Meng Fei'er and more than a dozen people with a foundation in arithmetic and began training.

Meng Feier and others quickly mastered Professor Kingo's addition and subtraction.

Jin Ge began to teach them multiplication and division, as well as the making of tables.

During this period, Jin Ge recruited more than 100 people to go to Xishan to mine coal, and also watched the renovation process of Cui Yuxuan.

Three days passed.

Jin Ge came to the Hundred Households House early.

At this moment, the captains of the Hundred Households have finished their morning run and are eating.

Jin Ge did not dislike having breakfast with them.

Yang Tao handed Jin Ge the list of merchants who had not paid taxes.

Looking at the list in his hand, Jin Ge couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Most of the list are green buildings, gambling houses, and there is also King Huai's Tiandong Pavilion.

Jin Ge looked at Yang Tao and asked, "Who is the owner of Lingyun Pavilion?" ”

Yang Tao said: "It's Wei Li, the vice president of Hongzheng Academy." ”

Jin Ge pondered for a moment and said, "Yang Tao, there is something you need to do. ”

Yang Tao was slightly stunned.

Jin Ge whispered a few words in his ear.

Yang Tao didn't have a trace of hesitation on his face, and said, "Baihu, this little thing is no problem. ”

Jin Ge pursed his lips and said, "Go and come back quickly." ”

"Yes!" Yang Tao bowed and bowed.

Call the two catchers of the original Chang'an County Ya, turn around and leave.

Jin Ge explained a few more words to Meng Xiang, entered his official room and fell asleep.

Yang Tao and the others soon came to the door of Lingyun Pavilion.

Since it was daytime, there were not many guests who came to Lingyun Pavilion.

However, there are still some sons and rich people who come to Lingyun Pavilion to listen to music and drink tea.

Or talk to some girls who aren't very popular about "ideals" or something.

A few men guarding the door, one by one, smiled and stammered the people who came in.

Now the people who come to Lingyun Pavilion are all masters who spend a lot of money.

If you really please that Uncle Qian and reward them with a ingot, they will have no worries about food and clothing this year.

Yang Tao didn't pause at all, and was about to enter Lingyun Pavilion.

The man at the door naturally knew Yang Tao and the others, and did not show a look of horror like ordinary people.

Instead, he stretched out his hand arrogantly, stopped Yang Tao and the others, and sneered with disdain.

"Hey...... Any idea what this place is? ”

"In broad daylight, I want to find the girls to go to Yichun Courtyard to find it, this is not the place where you came!"

Yang Tao showed his waist card and said: "I am the general flag of the 100 households on West Street, and I am ordered by the 100 households to come to you to collect taxes and silver." ”

"Call your shopkeeper, and I'll talk to him myself!"

When the men who guarded the door heard that Yang Tao had become the general banner of the Wude Division, they couldn't help but be a little flustered.

One of the men said, "Okay, you wait, I'll ask the shopkeeper to come." ”

After that, he quickly entered the Lingyun Pavilion.

Didn't wait long.

A middle-aged man walked out of the Lingyun Pavilion and was surrounded by more than two dozen men like stars holding the moon.

The man was not tall, wearing a round-necked shirt, with a red face, a fat head and big ears, and he looked very relatable.

He glanced at Yang Tao indifferently and said.

"Contemptible Jia Wu, the shopkeeper of Lingyun Pavilion, I don't know what business you are doing here?"

Jia Wu spoke with confidence, but his tone was very unpolite.

Yang Tao said very calmly: "Seven days ago, I posted a notice in 100 households on East and West Streets. ”

"All merchants under the rule of 100 households must pay taxes and silver every month according to the area of the store......"

"Pay taxes according to the size of the store?"

Jia Wu's face turned cold, and he directly interrupted Yang Tao's speech, and said loudly: "What kind of rule is this?" ”

"Let's open the door and do business in a dignified manner, which law stipulates that we must pay taxes and silver to your hundred households of the Martial Virtue Division?"

Yang Tao said: "This is the new rule of our 100 households!" ”

When Jia Wu heard this, he was furious and said: "This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Lang Lang Qiankun, just a hundred households, and he bullied me and other merchants like this, do you still have a royal law in your eyes?" ”
